Decided for a black dial in the end together with a GF mesh bracelet and got a bit unlucky with the 6 marker alignment on my QC. My TD directly told me that he'll replace it though. Always carefully check your QC pics guys!

Hyped about receiving it in the end though. Movement will be replaced with a gen ETA 2836 that I have here.

I have two of these, blue and white. I like them more than most of my gens (Omega, Breitling, Tudor, Tag...)

Lovely watch. I have it on a Vietnamese alligator strap. Don't even remember the rep strap.

Damn this is a beauty. Too bad they don't make it on a metal bracelet or a tad smaller.

Got QC pics for my second one, on which the markers looked really crooked again and wanted to get it replaced with a new one and Intime told me today that they had a flooding so they'll have to get me another one anyways lol. Third time's the charm hopefully.

Is the left the gen? When cross comparing to gen pics the dial "texture" also looked different on the white. When the light reflects you see these lines that go to the center on the rep while on the gen it looks like it is a more uniform texture. But I only saw a few pics and a video of gen so I dunno if that's accurate.

But still it is a nice watch and noone will know how the dial texture is supposed to reflect on a random Breitling watch.

Yes left gen.But I'm more worried about the Breitling inscription on rep it's more Gothic.The dial is normal,these lines are not visible in life.

Guys, what you think - the marker on 11 seems to be very crooked, days not fully centered, but this is acceptable.
